Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the measurement of free ligand in a liquid sample which contains the ligand in both free and bound states. More particularly, the present invention relates to. an improvement in the measurement of free ligand in a liquid sample which contains the ligand in both free and combined states.
  • each species typically is bound to one or more endogenous proteins, i.e., proteins which are normally present in the biological fluids. There often is a single protein which is primarily responsible for such binding.
  • the amount of a given species which is present in the free state usually represents only a very small percentage of the total amount of the species present in the biological fluid and typically is more significant clinically than the total amount of the species or the amount of the species which is present in the bound state. There are times, however, when it is either desirable or necessary to know both the amount of the species which is present in the free state and the total amount of the species present in the biological fluid.
  • thyroid hormones e.g., thyroxine and 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine.
  • thyroxine and 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine Approximately 99.97% of the thyroxine and About 99.7% of the 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine in human serum are bound to endogenous serum proteins, especially thyroxine binding globulin (TBG).
  • TBG thyroxine binding globulin
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,046,870 discloses a method for determining the concentration of free thyroid hormone in a blood serum sample, which method comprises the steps of analyzing the sample via immunoassay techniques for either thyroid hormone in the presence and absence of a blocking agent to establish a thyroid hormone binding differential and then correlating that differential with a standard curve relating the respective free thyroid hormone concentrations to binding differentials.
  • the blocking agent typically was thiomersal at a concentration of 2.5 mg/ml.
  • the immunoassay carried out in the presence of a blocking agent gives a result which can be correlated with the total thyroid hormone concentration through the use of an appropriate dose-response or standard curve.
  • the procedure is especially advantageous when it is necessary or desirable to know both free and total thyroid hormone concentrations.
  • the procedure still requires two separate measurements. Consequently, such procedure often has been deemed less desirable than one in which a single measurement is required for the determination of free thyroid hormone.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an improved single step free ligand immunoassay.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide an improved single step free ligand immunoassay which is more diagnostically specific and has fewer false positives in the hypothyroid range than prior art single step free ligand immunoassays.
  • the present invention provides, in a method of determining the concentration of a free ligand in a liquid sample which contains the ligand in both free and bound states, which method comprises the steps of:
  • the ligand is a thyroid hormone, such as thyroxine or 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine.
  • the specific binder is immobilized on a water-insoluble support.
  • the water-insoluble support is particulate and, optionally, paramagnetic.
  • endogenous ligand binding proteins includes those ligand binding proteins which are naturally present in a given biological sample.
  • exogenous ligand binding proteins includes those proteins which are added to the sample during either sample preparation or the assay procedure and which are capable of at least partially binding the labelled ligand or labelled ligand derivative.
  • many free thyroxine assay procedures require the addition of bovine serum albumin to the sample.
  • bovine serum albumin typically is capable of at least partially binding the labelled thyroxine or labelled thyroxine derivative employed in the assay.
  • exogenous ligand binding proteins are similar to the endogenous ligand binding proteins in their affinity for labelled ligand or labelled ligand derivative.
  • specific endogenous ligand binding protein refers to the endogenous protein which is primarily responsible for binding ligand.
  • the specific endogenous thyroxine binding protein is thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG).
  • the blocking agent can be any compound which serves to prevent significant binding of the labeled ligand to endogenous and/or exogenous ligand binding proteins.
  • Suitable blocking agents include, among others, 8-anilino-l-naphthalenesulfonic acid, 3-(4-anilino-1-naphthylazo)-2,7-naphthalenedisulfonic acid, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid, ⁇ -naphthalenesulfonic acid, sodium ethylmercurithiosalicylate (thiomersal) , sodium salicylate, phenytoin (diphenylhydantoin or 5,5-diphenyl-2,4-imidazolidinedione), doxepin, diazapam, prochlorperazine, phenylbutazone, propylthiouracil, methimazole, and the like.
  • the blocking agent is employed in an amount which is sufficient to prevent significant binding of the labeled ligand or labeled ligand derivative to endogenous and/or exogenous ligand binding proteins without causing significant release of bound ligand. Such amount will vary, depending upon the blocking agent and the labeled ligand or labeled ligand derivative, among other factors. However, one having ordinary skill in the art can readily determine- such amount without undue experimentation.
  • the amounts of blocking agents employed in U.S. 3,911,096 varied from 50 ug to 10 mg per 25 ul of serum, which amounts displaced from 3.0 to greater than 20 ng of thyroxine from TBG.
  • Human serum normally contains-no more than about 12.5 ug of thyroxine per dl, which amount corresponds to about 3.1 ng per 25 ⁇ l sample.
  • all of the blocking agents were employed in amounts which released at least 3.1 ng of thyroxine from TBG.
  • sodium salicylate was suitably employed in a free thyroxine radioimmunoassay at a concentration of 0.375 g/l in the tracer solution. Since the amount of tracer solution utilized was 200 ⁇ l and the sample size was 50 ⁇ l, the amount of sodium salicylate per 25 ⁇ l of sample would be 37.5 pg. In U.S. 3,911,096, however, sodium salicylate was tested at a level of 10 mg per 25 ul of sample, a 267-fold increase over the level employed in the Examples.
  • the method of the present invention is useful in any single step free ligand immunoassay which utilizes a labeled ligand or labeled ligand derivative which is substantially nonreactive with binding proteins present in the sample, irrespective of the particular protocol employed.
  • Table II The data presented in Table I were treated to statistical analysis in two groups: (1) samples which also were analyzed by equilibrium dialysis and (2) all samples. The statistical analyses are summarized in Table II.
  • Example 1 The procedure of Example 1 was repeated, except that the samples employed represented abnormal patient populations.
  • the data are summarized in Tables I II through XII.
  • Example 1 The procedure of Example 1 was followed, except that the patient samples represented sick euthyroid patients.
  • the data are presented in Tables XIV and XV.
  • Table XIV summarizes patient diagnoses
  • Table XV summarizes the results of the single tube free thyroxine assay without and with the addition of salicylate to tracer reagent.
  • Example 1 The procedure of Example 1 was repeated once more, this time on patient samples taken before and after dialysis.
  • the data are summarized in Tables XVI and XVIII.
  • the number of patients within the normal range when assayed without and with salicylate are 6 and 7, respectively, while the percent diagnostically correct are 75 and 87.5, respectively.
  • the number of patients within the normal range when assayed without and with salicylate are 1 and 6, respectively, a significant improvement resulting from the use of salicylate.
  • the percent diagnostically correct without and with salicylate are 12.5 and 75, respectively.
